There is no catch; it is simply a matter of efficiency. By leveraging our economy of scale and highly optimized installation systems, we are able to deploy solar technology at a cost significantly lower than the industry standard. This efficiency allows us to deliver a system at a price that saves you money immediately, while still generating the profit necessary to sustain our business and support you for the long term.

Your savings depend on your average electricity usage, but our goal is to reduce whatever you're currently paying by up to 50%. For a typical homeowner, that can mean saving around $2,400 per year, or roughly $24,000 over 10 years. That's enough to cover a new roof, several years of property taxes, or even college tuition. For businesses, the savings can be even more substantial, often $25,000 or more per year.

No, a significant benefit of the Sunlarus Energy rental program is that there are never upfront costs for the customer. This includes installation, equipment, and activation. Customers simply begin paying their monthly rental fee once the system is operational, immediately realizing savings compared to their traditional utility bill.

Yes, you will still receive a monthly statement because your home remains connected to the utility grid. All utility companies mandate a minimum connection fee (e.g., Duke Energy charges ~$30/month) that cannot be offset by solar. Additionally, if factors like limited roof space prevent us from offsetting 100% of your usage, you will simply be billed by the utility for the difference (this would be outlined in your proposal). Even with this remaining balance, your total combined cost is designed to be significantly lower than your original electric bill.

Net Metering is a billing agreement between you and the utility company that allows you to "store" the solar energy you produce but don’t use immediately. Think of the electric grid as a virtual battery.

When your solar panels produce more electricity than your home needs (like during the day while you are at work), that excess power flows back to Duke Energy. Instead of paying you cash, Duke gives you a 1-for-1 credit on your bill. You can use these credits later when the sun isn’t shining (like at night) or during months when you use more power than you produce.

The "Banking" vs. "Withdrawal" Cycle

Solar production and home energy usage are rarely perfectly synced. We design your system to balance out over the course of a full year, which creates two distinct seasons for your "Solar Bank Account":

The "Banking" Months (Spring & Fall): During months like March, April and May, the sun is strong, but your A/C isn't running constantly. You will likely produce more power than you use. This surplus builds up a large balance of credits in your account—like depositing money into a savings account.

The "Withdrawal" Months (Summer & Winter): During July and August (peak heat) or January (cold snaps), your A/C or heater works overtime, and you will likely use more power than your panels produce. This is normal and you simply "withdraw" the credits you banked in the spring to pay for the extra energy you need, keeping your bill low.
